20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition 6LP Box Set

Rhino and Warner Records' vinyl edition of the At War With The Mystics anniversary set holds six LPs, twelve sides in all. Sides A through C carry the original album, which Rhino describes as remastered here for the first time. The other nine sides gather what the label counts as 19 previously unreleased demos, 12 previously unreleased studio recordings and 33 further non-album tracks from the same period.

Side D gathers non-LP tracks, among them B-sides from the 2006 CD singles for "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song" and "The W.A.N.D.". Sides E through H follow the band into film and compilation work, with songs for Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, The Heartbreak Kid and Spider-Man 3, remixes by Goldfrapp and The Bird And The Bee, covers of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and John Lennon's "(Just Like) Starting Over", and a previously unreleased take on Devo's "Gates Of Steel". Side I carries six tracks from the 2007 iTunes Originals session, Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" among them, and Side J the radio sessions issued on the 2006 promo sampler If You Could Blow Up The World With The Flick Of A Switch, including Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter". Sides K and L hold the demos, from four-track sketches of "Free Radicals" and "Vein Of Stars" to a single track gathering four demos of "Mr. Ambulance Driver". The two live albums in the six-CD edition, U.F.O.s At The Zoo and Live At The Hollywood Bowl, are not part of the vinyl set.

At War With The Mystics was the Flaming Lips' eleventh studio album, released by Warner Bros. on April 3, 2006. The band produced it with Dave Fridmann and Scott Booker at Tarbox Road Studios in Cassadaga, New York, working between June 2004 and January 2006. "The W.A.N.D. (The Will Always Negates Defeat)", "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song (With All Your Power)" and "It Overtakes Me" were released as singles.

The album reached No. 11 on the Billboard 200 and No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart, and won Grammy Awards for Best Rock Instrumental Performance and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
